Aldebaran is a major Confederation port and administrative and supply center.   Beyond this, it is also noted for its many floral varieties and unspoiled wilderness.  A very popular tourist attraction and vacation spot, Aldebaran boasts a wide variety of exotic foods and wines found nowhere else in the galaxy.  After Arcturus, it is the largest center of corporate holdings outside the original boundaries of the Confederation.
